Just after the incident, the University of Arizona released a statement that read:

“We are saddened by the unfortunate events which left one of our rugby players injured at the hands of a competitor. Our goal is to provide a competitive environment focused on good sportsmanship. This incident is an egregious exception. Our thoughts now are with our student and his full recovery.”

A spokesperson for Arizona State University said the entire club rugby coaching staff was fired as a result.
